Speaker 1 (00:08):
Seven o'clock hour here on this Thursday, Welcome in. It
is Chuck them back in the morning Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM. In a moment, we will hear
from the legendary David Softy Maller Thursdays with Softy right
here on KJR. But first your headlines brought to you
by frost brewed Corse Light.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Choose Chill.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
The Toronto Blue Jays moved one game closer to World
championship status. Yes, they defeated the Dodgers in a bit
of a blowout last night, six to one. Trey you
Savage was wealthy, was outstanding yesterday, striking out twelve batters
in the game. The Dodgers could not touch him. And
(00:48):
suddenly Toronto gets to go home to close out the
World Series and they'll have two cracks at it against
the Los Angeles Dodgers. Game six will be played on Friday,
so a day off today. Other news Sounders will be
an action against the Minnesota United Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
That will be game two of a three game series.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
The Sounders will have to win back to back matches
against Minnesota in order to advance. I'm sure the mad
scientists will cook something up. College basketball season is just
four days away. Trade deadline is just five days away.
Lamar Jackson expected to go tonight for the Ravens. He's
back on the field to take on the Miami Dolphins,
(01:30):
and of course the Seahawks will be an action Sunday
Night against the Commanders.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Julian Love we thought was going to be playing in
this game. There's a chance he may not.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Terry McLaurin is definitely out for the Commanders, and Jade
and Daniels was a full participant at practice yesterday for
the Commanders, and that's as strong an indication as any
you're going to get that he is going to play
Sunday night for Washington.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So we'll have to deal with that guy. Huskies are
on buy this week.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I'm sure it's time to talk with David Softy Maller
about his beloved dogs.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
With something in his mouth. I have no idea what
that is. Okay, is Bucky there by the way? Oh yeah, okay, Bucky.
Do you have that problem with your kids that you
look at him and you have no idea what's in
their mouth? Or you just ingested or my.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Daughter likes to just like for whatever reason, like carry
toys around her in her mouth, Yeah, which is fine
as long as it's not a choking hazard. But she
likes to put even like like small things in her mouth.
I'm like, do you stop those.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Kids and put things in their nose? They like can't
stop themselves. They can't keep for themselves from doing it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I want to start a rubber band on my nose
and my mom had to call the doctor who lived
down the street to come over and take it out.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
A rubber band.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah, all the way up my nose. My nose is huge.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I would see.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I could see being experimental, like what would happen if
I put this up my nose? But then once you're
rush to the emergency room, you would think that they
that would end. But there's some kids out there that
can't help themselves. They just keep putting stuff up there.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
No, that's a great topic. By the way, what did
you experiment with when you were a youth? You know what?
I'd rather talk about that than talk about the World Series.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
To be honest with you, you can't get into it.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'm good, am I into the World Series?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, And I'm trying to set you up to go
off I mean, you brought it up.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I want to go off. Yeah, I'm tired of going
off at seven o'clock in the morning. I'm tired, man,
I'm tired of being angry. I'm tired of being bummed out.
I'm tired of being bitter. I mean Jackson's wife is
a is a psychologist or therapist, whatever the hell they
call it. And I need help. Man, this is like,
what is this now? Almost two weeks going on? This
(03:49):
coming Monday, ten days since Game seven? Is that what
it is? Yeah? And I'm not even close to getting
over it. Yeah, and I'm afraid it's getting worse. Am
I the only one here that feels that way? Or
am I just on like you know, idiot island by
myself here.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, I think Ashley's not capable of watching the World Series. Yeah,
I was hesitant for the first time in my life to.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Whether I was wondering whether I would last Friday.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Well, listen, man, if you're not watching the World Series
and you're wondering if you're in the World Series, then
humanity is doomed. Because you're the baseball guy. I watched
a professional You're like, I love baseball and we gotta
get over it, and we gotta move on, and don't
deprive yourself of the greatest stage for the greatest sport.
(04:42):
If you're the one that won't watch and you're a
little miserable, then we're all just left.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, I've watched, I have watched. I was reluctant on Friday.
I wasn't my heart wasn't in it, but I put
it on. Uh, And then I did watch the eighteen
inning game. Yeah, and well I watched them all so
but I did. I did really enjoy the eighteen inning game.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I turned that on the bottom of the ninth just
to see if the Dodgers could win it because I
wasn't watching, and then just kept watching. I was like
Forrest Gump. I just kept going, you know, figured, I
come this far, mayswell, keep going. God just fifteenth inning,
figured I come this far, mayswell, keep going. And thank God,
the Dodgers at least won that game. And I was,
(05:23):
you know, I was talking about like Woo Jay fans
sitting up in Canada two thirty in the morning, you know,
watching that thing and having to go to bed at
three o'clock after a loss. And I was maybe as
good as it got for us as far as the shadenfreude,
and that's serious because the Dodgers, I mean, they look cooked,
don't you guys think.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I wouldn't say they're cooked, but but yeah, I would say, yeah,
Toronto looks like they're.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Gonna win the World Series.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Torond just looks like they have the recipe to win baseball,
which is it's not really new, it's just kind of
bringing back Oh, put the ball in play, that works, bucket.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Let me ask you a question, then, why don't we
have that recip.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I think we're moving in that direction.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Brother, can't we have that recipe?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Hey, just a little bit of therapy for you. I
would say one thing to try to help you get
over it is think about what you have and not
what you don't have, because you're right, it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Sucks about that. You got the game. Guy, You know what,
Paul Moyer, get over it you No.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
No, I'm not saying to get over it. I'm not
saying get over it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It hurts. I'm right there with you.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I just I'm just looking forward to the future because
that's the only thing we have.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That past is over. I can't change it.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Now. We have we have, we have both we have
the future and we have the misery of history, and
I'm embracing that.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay, well you do you, yeah, you do you?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
For me, this is cathartic and I appreciate you guys
giving me a chance to vent a little bit here
on the on the radio program. Yeah, I mean it
was the biggest gut punch I think I've ever taken
as a sports fan, and you know, even bigger than
Super Both forty nine. And I know people will call,
or they'll tax or they'll tweet and say, you're an idiot.
How could you think that football is play more popular
than baseball. Hey, that's not the point. This isn't about
(07:10):
comparing sport to sport and the popularity of one sport
to the other. When you're waiting fifty years for something
and you're eight outs away, I mean, you guys get
the point. You don't need me to rehash everything.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But it is so hard to win a World Series.
I mean, oh, because it's not like other sports. Other
sports more more often I'm not gonna say always, but
more often you got the best team, you're gonna win,
but that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Doesn't really happen. So even if you do.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Craft over one hundred and sixty two games. Sure, the
best season, and even if you do dominate in the
first two rounds of the playoffs, it doesn't mean you
won't show up in the World Series or the Alcs
and just completely lay an egg.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
And look at the Dodgers right now, Yeah, exactly how
they're spending fifth million dollars? What are the Braves of
the nineties? You know, I mean they fell short of
ton You know, they got there and they won one,
but they probably should have won more than one. Dodgers,
you know, they've been to how many World Series? Now?
Is this for Dave Roberts? Is at five or six
World Series for Roberts?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Whatever it is now, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Some folks would argue they've fallen even a little bit. Sht.
I mean you're totally right now. You're going back to
the beginning and we can have fun and dominate the
regular season and always know, right Bucky, at the end
of the road, there's that five game sample or that
seven game sample or anything can happen, and it doesn't
matter what you did in July, or it doesn't matter
(08:30):
what you did in September. Anybody can get you. Anybody
can step up and butte you in that seven game series.
And that's what stinks about this year is that you're right.
It's the hard It feels like the hardest thing to
do in a lot of ways in sports. I used
to think winning a college football national title was the
hardest thing to do in sports. I think this is harder.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I think Toronto's good, but I think the Dodgers are better,
and I think we're better than the Toronto Bluejays.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
But look who's.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Getting ready to proverbially cut down the nets. It's damn
Toronto forgot.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well, let's hope the Dodgers can wake the hell up.
I mean, my god, there, I'm trying to figure out
whose offense has been worse. The Dodgers are this Wisconsin team,
the Huskies playing next Saturday. How about that for a transition?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, well, let me ask you in your current state.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I mean, a win over Illinois.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Puts you at six and two and you can see
a path to the tournament at this point, do you
allow yourself to think about that? Or is your pain
so great right now that you're not going to set
yourself up for any expectation.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
This was this was a Husky football team in twenty
twenty two that was six and two and they were
unranked and they finished the year eighth in the country.
Remember that because they beat Oregon State, they were ranked.
They beat Oregon they were ranked, and then they beat
Texas in the Alamo Ball and they finished in the
top ten. So I think the point is you can
make a significant jump from the end of October to
(09:56):
the end of the year. Hell Ohio State when they
won the title in tw fourteen, first year of the CFP,
I think they were like fifteenth in America when the
initial rankings came out and they won the championship. Man,
So yeah, you can, you can make a huge jump.
I mean, the problem for Washington is they don't have
really a lot of opportunities left to prove themselves. They
(10:16):
only really have one and we know who that's against Bucky,
don't we in November Atluski Stadium. So you got Purdue,
you got UCLA, you got Wisconsin. Three let's face it,
terrible football teams. I mean, guys, Wisconsin is averaging their
last seven games, they're averaging six point eight points per
game scored, not allowed scored. They're like three and eight
(10:37):
and they're last eleven at home. They won fickles Head
on a freaking spike in Madison. I mean, it's unbelievable
how bad things have gotten out there. So they should
win these next three. They should be nine to two,
and then Bucky and I can tell each other how
stupid we are before the Orgon game, extreaming kind.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I mean, I kind of am looking forward to that,
but I kind of also wouldn't mind you guys dropping
one before because I don't want all that on.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Your Yeah, there's a part of you that's a little
nervous though.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
No, Yeah, normally I don't get very over the top.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
With it, but here you bring them heavily in the
back a little bit. I say.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
On that note, then I hope you guys do win
the next three so that there's more on the more
on the plate for it.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, there'd be way more pressure on you guys than
there would be on U Dub. I mean, you Dub
goes nine to two, and they're gonna be people. Let's
face it.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
There, you guys do ten and two and you're in
the playoffs, you'll be doing the same thing. You just
will know you're not going to win.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I don't think it's a confirmed thing for sure that
they'd be in the playoffs, and they would only have
to be one win at that point over a ranked team,
and that'd be the Oregon Ducks unless Illinois together. Yeah,
climb back. Well, they're not ranked now, which is just
the stupidity of the eight people, which I've been yelling
about the entire year. I am so done with the
eight people, guys, just done. Forget it. I mean, Notre
(11:56):
Dame where they're ranked because of where they started, Texas
where they're rank because of where they started. I mean
I was probably got even, you know, a bigger complaint
than you, dub. I mean, they're they're six and two
and they lost to Indiana by like three points. I mean,
what the hell? And they can't get into the top
twenty five. So yeah, they go nine and two, there's
gonna be chatter, you know about you doubt making it in.
They're still gonna need some help, there's no question about that.
(12:19):
But I would I would. I would love for that
Oregon game to mean a little something something and have
have people like Bucky just squirming around.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh, there would be no squirming out of me, my friend,
You'll be squirming you're already squishy over there. Oh yeah, yeah,
I heard you squishing in your pants.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I don't normally talk with ultra confidence in this topic
because I just think it's bad mojo, but I am
going to right now, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Uh, Softy is Well, it's Thursdays with Softie here on
Chuck and Buck in the mornings. You know, I saw
your partner radio partner, Dick Thane, uh, and he.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Tweeted out something about it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Well, he tweeted out something about like twenty twenty seven
national champs.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay, yeah, and what sport I'm not in? The Huskies?
The Huskies twenty twenty seven, Yeah, college football.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
And my thought was he's reading in that Demon Williams
is going to be our senior quarterback. And you know,
maybe you have already won a Heisman, And so I'm
not bringing it up to you to critique whether or
not this is a national champion. I'm bringing it up
then this era of transfer portal and right, you know,
(13:26):
guys being able to zip ahead to the National Football
League when they feel their stock is right. Do you
see Demon Williams being here for four years as the
Huskies quarterback?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
If I had to bet something that made me nervous.
I'd say no, I'd say no, but I wouldn't be surprised.
That's a lame answer. I know that, Chuck, here's the
deal man. I just think that people that run around
dismissing anything, I don't understand that attitude whatsoever. I think,
if you're a college football fan, if you're a Husky fan, oh,
(13:57):
Demon's not going anywhere. Jet's not going anywhere. That's ridiculous,
totally ridiculous to just dismiss that. I mean, you may
be right that Jed's going to be here next year,
you may be right that Demon's going to be here
in two years from now, but now more than ever,
just completely dismissing the idea that Jetfish could go take
another job and take Demon Williams with him. Do I
(14:18):
think Demon's gonna leave early for the NFL. I mean,
I think that's going to be harder for him because
of his stature, right, I mean, five ten, one hundred
and ninety pound quarterback leaving early for the NFL, he
would have to be like Kyler Murray's special honestly to
take off and be able to do something like that.
And I don't think he's there yet. He's got a
chance to be there, but he's not there yet. But
(14:39):
Jetfish leaving you, Dub and taking off and coaching somewhere
else next year or the year after that, and bringing
Demond Williams with him, to just dismiss the idea of
that happening, I think his pure stupidity. I mean it's
ignorance to just dismiss something like that. I mean, look
at all the jobs that are open in college football,
and look at all the quality candidates out there, man,
I mean, there is an absolute dearth of candidates out there.
(15:01):
We're talking about bringing guys like ed Orgeron back off
the shelf to take some of these college football coaching jobs,
talking about you know, guys like Steve Sarkisan leaving college
and going back to the NFL because of just the
lack of quality candidates even at that level. It's unbelievable. Man, Like,
nobody wants to be president, nobody wants to be a
football coach, where they out of all these people go,
I don't understand. So I just think again, dismissing any
(15:25):
of that talk to me is totally naive, absolutely naive.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, well, I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I think dismissing it is silly, especially the coaching part
of it. I mean, there's so much time before Demon
Williams in the NFL. I mean you still for sure
have another year to find out if he's going to
be that special. But yeah, I mean is there concern?
I mean it's I mean, how how what is your
heat check as far as you're concerned about fish leaving.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
For that as a fifty to fifty deal, yeah, right now.
I mean it could go either way, you know. I mean, look, man,
I've told the story on the air, and I think
you guys already know when Troy Dannon tried to have
me and Day thrown out of his press conference. You
guys are were that ye Okay, So this is a
guy that's getting introduced and we're doing the midday show
that day, and we're sitting there on the air and
(16:09):
we're talking about his resume. It's like, man, the guy's
moved around a lot. He's been at twelve spots in
whatever years, and Dan and overheard it and got pissed
off and sent one of his lackey's over to kick
us out, which would have been a horrible look for you, Dub,
and so if I'm if I was concerned about it
on that day, I'm certainly concerned about it now with
the fact that he's six and two and having a
(16:29):
little bit of success, And I think ads and presidents
are smart enough to look at everything in context, right, Like,
you know, a guy goes to Vanderbilt and he wins
eight games, that's like going to Alabama and winning forty,
you know. I mean, look at what he's done. He's
rebuilt the offensive line to a point where they were
getting recognition from the Joe Moore Award Committee halfway through
the year before Carver and John Mills got banged up.
(16:52):
He's got he's done great in the portal. He's got
maybe the best defensive back trio or excuse me, twosome
in the country, if not at least the Big ten.
He's got a star in the making, and Demon Williams.
He's got a star in Joanah Coleman. He may have
a number one, you know, first round draft pick, and
Denzel Boston. So I think he's done great in context.
I mean, look at what he took over, you know,
the garbage dump. I mean, this thing was a mess
(17:13):
when Jedfish took it. Over, So I think he's done
great in context. And then you couple that with all
the coaching jobs are open and the quality of jobs
that are open, the big name jobs that are open.
I think Bucky, it's fifty to fifty right now.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah? Wow, all right? What's your go to Halloween movie?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
My go to Halloween movie? You know, I really don't
have one. I'm not a big horror movie guy, to
be honest with you, you know, I mean, can I
just name, like my favorite corny is horror movie of
all time?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
You ever see Microwave Massacre?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
No, I'm not one of these D level movies from
the seventies where it's they're so corny you're kind of
laughing at it. You know, blood's scorting out of a
guy's neck and it's clearly like ketchup right. Okay, I
gotta be a big Halloween movie guy.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay, Well, I just thought I would ask the season,
you know.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I mean, if you're asking me what my favorite scary
movie is, I mean probably that one. But the movie
that scared the crap out of me the most was
called The People Under the Stairs. Okay, I you remember
that one?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Okay? I know of it. I know of it. Yeah,
broke me. Well, you already sound a little better than
you did at the beginning of this.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Thank you, so hopefully our therapy session helped little.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Just to announce, I'm pissed off again when I see
something crawl across my screen from some jackass Blue Jay
fan sneaking his way into my Twitter mensons. But by
the way, these people are subhuman, Yeah really are. I
mean the they like mobile eye and they go after
people like us. I see more people on my timeline
that don't follow me that are Blue Jay fans than
any other sport, even the Ducks. By the way, Bucky,
(18:50):
and I will tell you this real quick. I know
we have to run, Bucky. I'll give it Oregon fans
credit for one thing. When they talk smack and they
talk mess on social media, at least they have the
guts to show their name and show their face. Toronto
Blue Jay fans biggest group of keyboard warrior cowards I've
ever seen on social media in my life, not even close.
So congratulations, they actually made Duck fans look good.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh wow, I'll win, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Thanks man, appreciate it, you guys, Softy joining us every Thursday.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Blue Jays won last.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Night six to one over the Los Angeles Dodgers Game five,
So Toronto is just one went away from being crowned
World Champs. It would be one of the bigger, not
one of the biggest, but one of the bigger the
World Series upsets. I think if they pull this off,
and they've got a great chance to do it going
home for two games and they only have to win
one against the Dodgers team that can't hit. Even with
(20:10):
all that money spent on the lineup, they just cannot hit.
Toronto pitching consistently and Treya Savage. Here's something I can
promise you, Bucky that has never happened before in the
history of baseball, and that is the World Series MVP.
The next year wins Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Oh okay, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, he still qualifies for Rookie of the Year next year,
He's not even going to get Rookie of the Year votes,
and yet he's going to be the World Series MVP
as long as Toronto finishes this off in the next
couple days.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Uh yeah, well, I mean it's pretty crazy the fact
that the dude was in college maybe I guess he was,
yeah last year, and then basically started this season in
a ball and all of a sudden finds himself.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Thrown again the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I mean, yesterday I think was his first start on
the road in the postseason. If I think that's I
think they've been trying to have him pitch at home.
But regardless, I mean, he goes out there and goes
seven innings against that lineup. Now, I think the Dodgers
are in a bit of a slump right now. I mean,
and yet you got to give some credit to the pitchers.
(21:21):
I mean the the you know Beavers and Max and
you know, even the youngster you Savage. I mean, they're
going out and executing, and that kind of helps put
you in a slump. But I also think there's a
little bit of it that they're just not having as
good AB's as they're supposed to have. Otherwise, you take
advantage of a couple of times that he was you know,
where he'd get a runner on and you'd start capitalizing
(21:43):
on it. That's exactly what the Blue Jays are doing.
That's what their recipe is get a guy on and
then make it difficult on him to get out of
that mess, because next thing you know, you put up
a crooked number and now all of a sudden, it
makes it far easier in the postseason for a pitcher
experienced or not to go out there and pitch once
you have a lead, and then you extend the lead,
and now all of a sudden you don't have to
(22:03):
be quite as precise. You can just kind of dice
guys up even more so. It's it's impressive the way
that Toronto's blown out there and playing.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Be honest, let's buy some factor fiction.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
We're set to go glad you're with us.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
We're every day Feels Lucky.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Fact Or Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
three kjr FM.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
All right, we are on a bet of a roll
as a show of course, this is our fourth pick
of the week. I mean, maybe we missfired on all
of them because I got a little too braggadocious about it.
But Bucky has been consistent as of late. Let's see
if that consistency continues.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Where we're going to.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I'm going with a big, big, big, big big favorite.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Oh and yet that I feel that's Bucky. That's the
Bucky I know. Yeah, And that's fine, And there are
going on the road.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
I'm going to take the La Chargers over the horrendous
Tennessee Titans in Tennessee. They're given nine and a half points.
I'm not even stressed about it. I mean they win
by at least ten and so I mean just the Titans.
I think they've covered like one spread the entire year.
And that's the game, the one game that they won,
(23:36):
and so I mean it's they just got blown out
by the Colts, and I think Colts are legit. I
think the Chargers. This is a This is a game
for the Chargers to kind of get on something. They
kind of they're gonna win the ball game, I'm almost certain.
But it's kind of like, let's kind of make a
statement again about how we people felt about us the
first few weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You need to get back to that. Yeah, well they
did last week. Kind of get back to that, but
let's see if they can can roll on with this.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Also, is it kind of like if they lose, then
you're really happy to watch them lose to the Titans.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
They're not gonna lose.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
If they only win by seven, I'm gonna be pissed
at them even more. But yeah, if there was some
crazy upset and I lose one game in factor fiction
and they lose a game, yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Right, how many points? Nine and a half? Nine and
a half points.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
So Bucky is saying that the Chargers are going to
win at Tennessee this Sunday by ten points or more.
If you agree with that bold hot take, you're gonna
go ahead and text fact to four nine four five one.
If you disagree with it and find it to be
a mild to sub mild take, then what you're gonna
do is text fiction to four nine four five one.
(24:42):
So get your opinion known on our text line, because
if you're right, we enter your name into a drawing
for one thousand dollars in cash. That drawing comes at
the end of the week. Every single time we play
at Kjar, which is four times per day, you have

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Mark James and Christopher Kidd coming up next for us.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
We got a three time champion here in town. I
think he's gonna hang a banner over at his work.
From what I understand Sports.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
He has really and he will add fourteen hundred for
an even twenty thousand, and you, sir, are now a
three day Jeopardy champion.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
You're a total forty nine and ninety nine dollars twelve bucks. Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I mean I knew that Levine was a nerd, but
not history unbelievable. I need the greatest nerd there is.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
He is.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, yeah, And I tell you I'm married to a nerd.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I get like, uh, they don't like being called a geeks, right,
Like that's their derogatory.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Nerd is I think it's pretty much.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I think everybody's nerdy about something. I know is that
one thing that makes them go on? I'm nerdy, geeked out.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, ird, but yeah nerd to me, Yeah, there is.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
Well did you see his tweet of all of his
flash cards? He tweeted out a photo of like how
his flash cards in the storage and the system and
he checks him in and out.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
See now to mess we've already had two conversations, three
conversations this week about it, Aaron Levine being a three
time Jeopardy champion. Now, uh so, congratulations to him, but
to me, all this talk about how smart he is
this week, whenever I saw that that tweet that he
sent out, he has basically set up a library for him,
(27:18):
for him for all of his index cards that he does,
flash cards that he does his studying off of, and
he forces himself like a librarian to check them in
and out. He has a Dewey decimal system in his
house for goodness sake, for checking in and out the
cards he needs to study.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Now that is brilliant.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Now that is.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Nerd card and nerdy. Yes, I mean that is the
dreamdness murdy Yeah, No, I mean I he's had some
of these had for you know, this entire six years
that he now just knows and so he very rarely
has to check those out. But then he's constantly making
new ones. But then he writes dates has to win
the last time he checked out and went through this
group with this box of cards, and so it's getting
(28:01):
harder and harder to keep up with how often he
has to go back. Thank god he made it, because
if he hadn't made it for another six years, he
would be living in just a box with a tent,
just a bunch of cards, you know, with a tarp
over the time to make a house out of these cards, yeah, exactly, the.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Only place I can live.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
And he said he brought three boxes. He had another picture.
It was the three boxes he brought with him to Detroit.
And he's like, the rain delay really helped give me
a lot of time.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I went over and talked to him during the rain
delay at one point, and he was doing it and
I said, all right, give me a couple of these.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Give me a couple of the questions. I got close
on one. One was a book?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Was close?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
One was a book. It was a book. Yeah, well,
I think that man in the sea, that's a book, right,
I got close. Who wrote it? You're close to what
it was? It was an old man and was he?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
I said, my guest was like Witches of the east
Wick or something, And he was like, that's close. It
was some book about witches, But okay, that was in
the clue. He's like, and he said it was a
good poll, like most people wouldn't have And I don't
know where it came from. I don't have no idea.
I couldn't.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I didn't read them percent So it's he is photosynthesis.
It's like it's sunlight of intelligence. And then you just
grab Yeah, all of your branches leaned toward it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, yep, I definitely get that. I do think I
definitely get that. I do think that. It's funny.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
When he told me that he had went on and
and he said it was the same thing. I couldn't ask,
so how'd you do? Because I knew he couldn't tell me,
but he just kind of gave There's one embarrassing moment
that I'm never going to live down. And I'm like
thinking myself, like, whatever, it's not going to be that embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
No, it was embarrassing. It was last night.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, smarty pants, what's a double triple and a home run?
Considered buddy?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Yeah, yeah, it was only I paid more attention instead
of doing flash cards.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Yeah, maybe I would have known it xbh ish and
he knows it obviously, but he's just got stumped.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I don't think he does. Still, he got stumped.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
And as a sportscast or a professional sportscaster to miss
the what is in baseball?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
What does XBH?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
That was?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
I watch it and I try to answer them. I
answer one or two correctly the entire show. That one
was the easiest one, and he didn't get it. So
I'm glad that we get to kind of, yeah, make
fun of him.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
He didn't know.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
He didn't even get smart pain, didn't even try. I
didn't even press the button. He just let it go.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't just it'll. It'll pop in
my head here in a second.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It is so funny though, because anybody that's ever played trivia,
and there's always somebody in the family that doesn't want
to play because they're not good at it, which is fine, Uh,
just be a part of it, and then they will
there will inevitably during the course of the game they
don't answer one question right, and then something goes right
(30:59):
into their strikes that another team gets. They're like that,
what did we get the easy one?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Well, yes, you're a mechanic.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
And there was a question asked about an engine and
you knew it. Yeah, it's not that easy for everybody else,
but for you specifically, that was easy.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I get it. Yeah. Really bad luck there, Bud.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
We'll come back with carburetors next.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
All right, Coming up next here on the radio program,
we've got our twelfth Man Round Table. Let us assemble
the Titans of Analysis. Hugh Millan will be with us.
Greg Bell will be an hour talking Seahawks commanders right
here on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R
f M
Seven o'clock hour here on this Thursday, Welcome in. It
is Chuck them back in the morning Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM. In a moment, we will hear
from the legendary David Softy Maller Thursdays with Softy right
here on KJR. But first your headlines brought to you
by frost brewed Corse Light.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Choose Chill.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
The Toronto Blue Jays moved one game closer to World
championship status. Yes, they defeated the Dodgers in a bit
of a blowout last night, six to one. Trey you
Savage was wealthy, was outstanding yesterday, striking out twelve batters
in the game. The Dodgers could not touch him. And
(00:48):
suddenly Toronto gets to go home to close out the
World Series and they'll have two cracks at it against
the Los Angeles Dodgers. Game six will be played on Friday,
so a day off today. Other news Sounders will be
an action against the Minnesota United Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
That will be game two of a three game series.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
The Sounders will have to win back to back matches
against Minnesota in order to advance. I'm sure the mad
scientists will cook something up. College basketball season is just
four days away. Trade deadline is just five days away.
Lamar Jackson expected to go tonight for the Ravens. He's
back on the field to take on the Miami Dolphins,
(01:30):
and of course the Seahawks will be an action Sunday
Night against the Commanders.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Julian Love we thought was going to be playing in
this game. There's a chance he may not.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Terry McLaurin is definitely out for the Commanders, and Jade
and Daniels was a full participant at practice yesterday for
the Commanders, and that's as strong an indication as any
you're going to get that he is going to play
Sunday night for Washington.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So we'll have to deal with that guy. Huskies are
on buy this week.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I'm sure it's time to talk with David Softy Maller
about his beloved dogs.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
With something in his mouth. I have no idea what
that is. Okay, is Bucky there by the way? Oh yeah, okay, Bucky.
Do you have that problem with your kids that you
look at him and you have no idea what's in
their mouth? Or you just ingested or my.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Daughter likes to just like for whatever reason, like carry
toys around her in her mouth, Yeah, which is fine
as long as it's not a choking hazard. But she
likes to put even like like small things in her mouth.
I'm like, do you stop those.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Kids and put things in their nose? They like can't
stop themselves. They can't keep for themselves from doing it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I want to start a rubber band on my nose
and my mom had to call the doctor who lived
down the street to come over and take it out.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
A rubber band.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah, all the way up my nose. My nose is huge.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I would see.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I could see being experimental, like what would happen if
I put this up my nose? But then once you're
rush to the emergency room, you would think that they
that would end. But there's some kids out there that
can't help themselves. They just keep putting stuff up there.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
No, that's a great topic. By the way, what did
you experiment with when you were a youth? You know what?
I'd rather talk about that than talk about the World Series.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
To be honest with you, you can't get into it.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'm good, am I into the World Series?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, And I'm trying to set you up to go
off I mean, you brought it up.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I want to go off. Yeah, I'm tired of going
off at seven o'clock in the morning. I'm tired, man,
I'm tired of being angry. I'm tired of being bummed out.
I'm tired of being bitter. I mean Jackson's wife is
a is a psychologist or therapist, whatever the hell they
call it. And I need help. Man, this is like,
what is this now? Almost two weeks going on? This
(03:49):
coming Monday, ten days since Game seven? Is that what
it is? Yeah? And I'm not even close to getting
over it. Yeah, and I'm afraid it's getting worse. Am
I the only one here that feels that way? Or
am I just on like you know, idiot island by
myself here.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, I think Ashley's not capable of watching the World Series. Yeah,
I was hesitant for the first time in my life to.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Whether I was wondering whether I would last Friday.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Well, listen, man, if you're not watching the World Series
and you're wondering if you're in the World Series, then
humanity is doomed. Because you're the baseball guy. I watched
a professional You're like, I love baseball and we gotta
get over it, and we gotta move on, and don't
deprive yourself of the greatest stage for the greatest sport.
(04:42):
If you're the one that won't watch and you're a
little miserable, then we're all just left.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, I've watched, I have watched. I was reluctant on Friday.
I wasn't my heart wasn't in it, but I put
it on. Uh, And then I did watch the eighteen
inning game. Yeah, and well I watched them all so
but I did. I did really enjoy the eighteen inning game.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I turned that on the bottom of the ninth just
to see if the Dodgers could win it because I
wasn't watching, and then just kept watching. I was like
Forrest Gump. I just kept going, you know, figured, I
come this far, mayswell, keep going. God just fifteenth inning,
figured I come this far, mayswell, keep going. And thank God,
the Dodgers at least won that game. And I was,
(05:23):
you know, I was talking about like Woo Jay fans
sitting up in Canada two thirty in the morning, you know,
watching that thing and having to go to bed at
three o'clock after a loss. And I was maybe as
good as it got for us as far as the shadenfreude,
and that's serious because the Dodgers, I mean, they look cooked,
don't you guys think.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I wouldn't say they're cooked, but but yeah, I would say, yeah,
Toronto looks like they're.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Gonna win the World Series.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Torond just looks like they have the recipe to win baseball,
which is it's not really new, it's just kind of
bringing back Oh, put the ball in play, that works, bucket.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Let me ask you a question, then, why don't we
have that recip.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I think we're moving in that direction.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Brother, can't we have that recipe?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Hey, just a little bit of therapy for you. I
would say one thing to try to help you get
over it is think about what you have and not
what you don't have, because you're right, it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Sucks about that. You got the game. Guy, You know what,
Paul Moyer, get over it you No.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
No, I'm not saying to get over it. I'm not
saying get over it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It hurts. I'm right there with you.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I just I'm just looking forward to the future because
that's the only thing we have.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That past is over. I can't change it.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Now. We have we have, we have both we have
the future and we have the misery of history, and
I'm embracing that.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay, well you do you, yeah, you do you?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
For me, this is cathartic and I appreciate you guys
giving me a chance to vent a little bit here
on the on the radio program. Yeah, I mean it
was the biggest gut punch I think I've ever taken
as a sports fan, and you know, even bigger than
Super Both forty nine. And I know people will call,
or they'll tax or they'll tweet and say, you're an idiot.
How could you think that football is play more popular
than baseball. Hey, that's not the point. This isn't about
(07:10):
comparing sport to sport and the popularity of one sport
to the other. When you're waiting fifty years for something
and you're eight outs away, I mean, you guys get
the point. You don't need me to rehash everything.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But it is so hard to win a World Series.
I mean, oh, because it's not like other sports. Other
sports more more often I'm not gonna say always, but
more often you got the best team, you're gonna win,
but that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Doesn't really happen. So even if you do.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Craft over one hundred and sixty two games. Sure, the
best season, and even if you do dominate in the
first two rounds of the playoffs, it doesn't mean you
won't show up in the World Series or the Alcs
and just completely lay an egg.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
And look at the Dodgers right now, Yeah, exactly how
they're spending fifth million dollars? What are the Braves of
the nineties? You know, I mean they fell short of
ton You know, they got there and they won one,
but they probably should have won more than one. Dodgers,
you know, they've been to how many World Series? Now?
Is this for Dave Roberts? Is at five or six
World Series for Roberts?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Whatever it is now, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Some folks would argue they've fallen even a little bit. Sht.
I mean you're totally right now. You're going back to
the beginning and we can have fun and dominate the
regular season and always know, right Bucky, at the end
of the road, there's that five game sample or that
seven game sample or anything can happen, and it doesn't
matter what you did in July, or it doesn't matter
(08:30):
what you did in September. Anybody can get you. Anybody
can step up and butte you in that seven game series.
And that's what stinks about this year is that you're right.
It's the hard It feels like the hardest thing to
do in a lot of ways in sports. I used
to think winning a college football national title was the
hardest thing to do in sports. I think this is harder.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I think Toronto's good, but I think the Dodgers are better,
and I think we're better than the Toronto Bluejays.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
But look who's.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Getting ready to proverbially cut down the nets. It's damn
Toronto forgot.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well, let's hope the Dodgers can wake the hell up.
I mean, my god, there, I'm trying to figure out
whose offense has been worse. The Dodgers are this Wisconsin team,
the Huskies playing next Saturday. How about that for a transition?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, well, let me ask you in your current state.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I mean, a win over Illinois.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Puts you at six and two and you can see
a path to the tournament at this point, do you
allow yourself to think about that? Or is your pain
so great right now that you're not going to set
yourself up for any expectation.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
This was this was a Husky football team in twenty
twenty two that was six and two and they were
unranked and they finished the year eighth in the country.
Remember that because they beat Oregon State, they were ranked.
They beat Oregon they were ranked, and then they beat
Texas in the Alamo Ball and they finished in the
top ten. So I think the point is you can
make a significant jump from the end of October to
(09:56):
the end of the year. Hell Ohio State when they
won the title in tw fourteen, first year of the CFP,
I think they were like fifteenth in America when the
initial rankings came out and they won the championship. Man,
So yeah, you can, you can make a huge jump.
I mean, the problem for Washington is they don't have
really a lot of opportunities left to prove themselves. They
(10:16):
only really have one and we know who that's against Bucky,
don't we in November Atluski Stadium. So you got Purdue,
you got UCLA, you got Wisconsin. Three let's face it,
terrible football teams. I mean, guys, Wisconsin is averaging their
last seven games, they're averaging six point eight points per
game scored, not allowed scored. They're like three and eight
(10:37):
and they're last eleven at home. They won fickles Head
on a freaking spike in Madison. I mean, it's unbelievable
how bad things have gotten out there. So they should
win these next three. They should be nine to two,
and then Bucky and I can tell each other how
stupid we are before the Orgon game, extreaming kind.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I mean, I kind of am looking forward to that,
but I kind of also wouldn't mind you guys dropping
one before because I don't want all that on.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Your Yeah, there's a part of you that's a little
nervous though.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
No, Yeah, normally I don't get very over the top.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
With it, but here you bring them heavily in the
back a little bit. I say.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
On that note, then I hope you guys do win
the next three so that there's more on the more
on the plate for it.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, there'd be way more pressure on you guys than
there would be on U Dub. I mean, you Dub
goes nine to two, and they're gonna be people. Let's
face it.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
There, you guys do ten and two and you're in
the playoffs, you'll be doing the same thing. You just
will know you're not going to win.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I don't think it's a confirmed thing for sure that
they'd be in the playoffs, and they would only have
to be one win at that point over a ranked team,
and that'd be the Oregon Ducks unless Illinois together. Yeah,
climb back. Well, they're not ranked now, which is just
the stupidity of the eight people, which I've been yelling
about the entire year. I am so done with the
eight people, guys, just done. Forget it. I mean, Notre
(11:56):
Dame where they're ranked because of where they started, Texas
where they're rank because of where they started. I mean
I was probably got even, you know, a bigger complaint
than you, dub. I mean, they're they're six and two
and they lost to Indiana by like three points. I mean,
what the hell? And they can't get into the top
twenty five. So yeah, they go nine and two, there's
gonna be chatter, you know about you doubt making it in.
They're still gonna need some help, there's no question about that.
(12:19):
But I would I would. I would love for that
Oregon game to mean a little something something and have
have people like Bucky just squirming around.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh, there would be no squirming out of me, my friend,
You'll be squirming you're already squishy over there. Oh yeah, yeah,
I heard you squishing in your pants.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I don't normally talk with ultra confidence in this topic
because I just think it's bad mojo, but I am
going to right now, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Uh, Softy is Well, it's Thursdays with Softie here on
Chuck and Buck in the mornings. You know, I saw
your partner radio partner, Dick Thane, uh, and he.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Tweeted out something about it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Well, he tweeted out something about like twenty twenty seven
national champs.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay, yeah, and what sport I'm not in? The Huskies?
The Huskies twenty twenty seven, Yeah, college football.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
And my thought was he's reading in that Demon Williams
is going to be our senior quarterback. And you know,
maybe you have already won a Heisman, And so I'm
not bringing it up to you to critique whether or
not this is a national champion. I'm bringing it up
then this era of transfer portal and right, you know,
(13:26):
guys being able to zip ahead to the National Football
League when they feel their stock is right. Do you
see Demon Williams being here for four years as the
Huskies quarterback?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
If I had to bet something that made me nervous.
I'd say no, I'd say no, but I wouldn't be surprised.
That's a lame answer. I know that, Chuck, here's the
deal man. I just think that people that run around
dismissing anything, I don't understand that attitude whatsoever. I think,
if you're a college football fan, if you're a Husky fan, oh,
(13:57):
Demon's not going anywhere. Jet's not going anywhere. That's ridiculous,
totally ridiculous to just dismiss that. I mean, you may
be right that Jed's going to be here next year,
you may be right that Demon's going to be here
in two years from now, but now more than ever,
just completely dismissing the idea that Jetfish could go take
another job and take Demon Williams with him. Do I
(14:18):
think Demon's gonna leave early for the NFL. I mean,
I think that's going to be harder for him because
of his stature, right, I mean, five ten, one hundred
and ninety pound quarterback leaving early for the NFL, he
would have to be like Kyler Murray's special honestly to
take off and be able to do something like that.
And I don't think he's there yet. He's got a
chance to be there, but he's not there yet. But
(14:39):
Jetfish leaving you, Dub and taking off and coaching somewhere
else next year or the year after that, and bringing
Demond Williams with him, to just dismiss the idea of
that happening, I think his pure stupidity. I mean it's
ignorance to just dismiss something like that. I mean, look
at all the jobs that are open in college football,
and look at all the quality candidates out there, man,
I mean, there is an absolute dearth of candidates out there.
(15:01):
We're talking about bringing guys like ed Orgeron back off
the shelf to take some of these college football coaching jobs,
talking about you know, guys like Steve Sarkisan leaving college
and going back to the NFL because of just the
lack of quality candidates even at that level. It's unbelievable. Man, Like,
nobody wants to be president, nobody wants to be a
football coach, where they out of all these people go,
I don't understand. So I just think again, dismissing any
(15:25):
of that talk to me is totally naive, absolutely naive.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, well, I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I think dismissing it is silly, especially the coaching part
of it. I mean, there's so much time before Demon
Williams in the NFL. I mean you still for sure
have another year to find out if he's going to
be that special. But yeah, I mean is there concern?
I mean it's I mean, how how what is your
heat check as far as you're concerned about fish leaving.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
For that as a fifty to fifty deal, yeah, right now.
I mean it could go either way, you know. I mean, look, man,
I've told the story on the air, and I think
you guys already know when Troy Dannon tried to have
me and Day thrown out of his press conference. You
guys are were that ye Okay, So this is a
guy that's getting introduced and we're doing the midday show
that day, and we're sitting there on the air and
(16:09):
we're talking about his resume. It's like, man, the guy's
moved around a lot. He's been at twelve spots in
whatever years, and Dan and overheard it and got pissed
off and sent one of his lackey's over to kick
us out, which would have been a horrible look for you, Dub,
and so if I'm if I was concerned about it
on that day, I'm certainly concerned about it now with
the fact that he's six and two and having a
(16:29):
little bit of success, And I think ads and presidents
are smart enough to look at everything in context, right, Like,
you know, a guy goes to Vanderbilt and he wins
eight games, that's like going to Alabama and winning forty,
you know. I mean, look at what he's done. He's
rebuilt the offensive line to a point where they were
getting recognition from the Joe Moore Award Committee halfway through
the year before Carver and John Mills got banged up.
(16:52):
He's got he's done great in the portal. He's got
maybe the best defensive back trio or excuse me, twosome
in the country, if not at least the Big ten.
He's got a star in the making, and Demon Williams.
He's got a star in Joanah Coleman. He may have
a number one, you know, first round draft pick, and
Denzel Boston. So I think he's done great in context.
I mean, look at what he took over, you know,
the garbage dump. I mean, this thing was a mess
(17:13):
when Jedfish took it. Over, So I think he's done
great in context. And then you couple that with all
the coaching jobs are open and the quality of jobs
that are open, the big name jobs that are open.
I think Bucky, it's fifty to fifty right now.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah? Wow, all right? What's your go to Halloween movie?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
My go to Halloween movie? You know, I really don't
have one. I'm not a big horror movie guy, to
be honest with you, you know, I mean, can I
just name, like my favorite corny is horror movie of
all time?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
You ever see Microwave Massacre?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
No, I'm not one of these D level movies from
the seventies where it's they're so corny you're kind of
laughing at it. You know, blood's scorting out of a
guy's neck and it's clearly like ketchup right. Okay, I
gotta be a big Halloween movie guy.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay, Well, I just thought I would ask the season,
you know.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I mean, if you're asking me what my favorite scary
movie is, I mean probably that one. But the movie
that scared the crap out of me the most was
called The People Under the Stairs. Okay, I you remember
that one?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Okay? I know of it. I know of it. Yeah,
broke me. Well, you already sound a little better than
you did at the beginning of this.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Thank you, so hopefully our therapy session helped little.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Just to announce, I'm pissed off again when I see
something crawl across my screen from some jackass Blue Jay
fan sneaking his way into my Twitter mensons. But by
the way, these people are subhuman, Yeah really are. I
mean the they like mobile eye and they go after
people like us. I see more people on my timeline
that don't follow me that are Blue Jay fans than
any other sport, even the Ducks. By the way, Bucky,
(18:50):
and I will tell you this real quick. I know
we have to run, Bucky. I'll give it Oregon fans
credit for one thing. When they talk smack and they
talk mess on social media, at least they have the
guts to show their name and show their face. Toronto
Blue Jay fans biggest group of keyboard warrior cowards I've
ever seen on social media in my life, not even close.
So congratulations, they actually made Duck fans look good.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh wow, I'll win, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Thanks man, appreciate it, you guys, Softy joining us every Thursday.
Here on the Chucking Buck Factor fiction coming your way

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Blue Jays won last.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Night six to one over the Los Angeles Dodgers Game five,
So Toronto is just one went away from being crowned
World Champs. It would be one of the bigger, not
one of the biggest, but one of the bigger the
World Series upsets. I think if they pull this off,
and they've got a great chance to do it going
home for two games and they only have to win
one against the Dodgers team that can't hit. Even with
(20:10):
all that money spent on the lineup, they just cannot hit.
Toronto pitching consistently and Treya Savage. Here's something I can
promise you, Bucky that has never happened before in the
history of baseball, and that is the World Series MVP.
The next year wins Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Oh okay, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, he still qualifies for Rookie of the Year next year,
He's not even going to get Rookie of the Year votes,
and yet he's going to be the World Series MVP
as long as Toronto finishes this off in the next
couple days.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Uh yeah, well, I mean it's pretty crazy the fact
that the dude was in college maybe I guess he was,
yeah last year, and then basically started this season in
a ball and all of a sudden finds himself.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Thrown again the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I mean, yesterday I think was his first start on
the road in the postseason. If I think that's I
think they've been trying to have him pitch at home.
But regardless, I mean, he goes out there and goes
seven innings against that lineup. Now, I think the Dodgers
are in a bit of a slump right now. I mean,
and yet you got to give some credit to the pitchers.
(21:21):
I mean the the you know Beavers and Max and
you know, even the youngster you Savage. I mean, they're
going out and executing, and that kind of helps put
you in a slump. But I also think there's a
little bit of it that they're just not having as
good AB's as they're supposed to have. Otherwise, you take
advantage of a couple of times that he was you know,
where he'd get a runner on and you'd start capitalizing
(21:43):
on it. That's exactly what the Blue Jays are doing.
That's what their recipe is get a guy on and
then make it difficult on him to get out of
that mess, because next thing you know, you put up
a crooked number and now all of a sudden, it
makes it far easier in the postseason for a pitcher
experienced or not to go out there and pitch once
you have a lead, and then you extend the lead,
and now all of a sudden you don't have to
(22:03):
be quite as precise. You can just kind of dice
guys up even more so. It's it's impressive the way
that Toronto's blown out there and playing.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Be honest, let's buy some factor fiction.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
We're set to go glad you're with us.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
We're every day Feels Lucky.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Fact Or Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
three kjr FM.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
All right, we are on a bet of a roll
as a show of course, this is our fourth pick
of the week. I mean, maybe we missfired on all
of them because I got a little too braggadocious about it.
But Bucky has been consistent as of late. Let's see
if that consistency continues.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Where we're going to.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I'm going with a big, big, big, big big favorite.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Oh and yet that I feel that's Bucky. That's the
Bucky I know. Yeah, And that's fine, And there are
going on the road.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
I'm going to take the La Chargers over the horrendous
Tennessee Titans in Tennessee. They're given nine and a half points.
I'm not even stressed about it. I mean they win
by at least ten and so I mean just the Titans.
I think they've covered like one spread the entire year.
And that's the game, the one game that they won,
(23:36):
and so I mean it's they just got blown out
by the Colts, and I think Colts are legit. I
think the Chargers. This is a This is a game
for the Chargers to kind of get on something. They
kind of they're gonna win the ball game, I'm almost certain.
But it's kind of like, let's kind of make a
statement again about how we people felt about us the
first few weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You need to get back to that. Yeah, well they
did last week. Kind of get back to that, but
let's see if they can can roll on with this.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Also, is it kind of like if they lose, then
you're really happy to watch them lose to the Titans.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
They're not gonna lose.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
If they only win by seven, I'm gonna be pissed
at them even more. But yeah, if there was some
crazy upset and I lose one game in factor fiction
and they lose a game, yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Right, how many points? Nine and a half? Nine and
a half points.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
So Bucky is saying that the Chargers are going to
win at Tennessee this Sunday by ten points or more.
If you agree with that bold hot take, you're gonna
go ahead and text fact to four nine four five one.
If you disagree with it and find it to be
a mild to sub mild take, then what you're gonna
do is text fiction to four nine four five one.
(24:42):
So get your opinion known on our text line, because
if you're right, we enter your name into a drawing
for one thousand dollars in cash. That drawing comes at
the end of the week. Every single time we play
at Kjar, which is four times per day, you have
a chance to get your name entered into that drawing
for one thousand dollars in cash. Play enough, win enough,
(25:04):
and ten thousand dollars could be yours. From our brand

Speaker 3 (25:27):
So once again Bucky saying Chargers win on the road
by ten points or more over the Lowly Tennessee Titans.
If you agree, text fact to four nine four to
five to one. If you disagree text fiction to four nine,
four to five one. Your next chance to play comes
at eleven thirty five this morning, with.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Mark James and Christopher Kidd coming up next for us.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
We got a three time champion here in town. I
think he's gonna hang a banner over at his work.
From what I understand Sports.
Speaker 2 (25:56):

Speaker 3 (25:59):
He has really and he will add fourteen hundred for
an even twenty thousand, and you, sir, are now a
three day Jeopardy champion.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
You're a total forty nine and ninety nine dollars twelve bucks. Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I mean I knew that Levine was a nerd, but
not history unbelievable. I need the greatest nerd there is.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
He is.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, yeah, And I tell you I'm married to a nerd.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I get like, uh, they don't like being called a geeks, right,
Like that's their derogatory.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Nerd is I think it's pretty much.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I think everybody's nerdy about something. I know is that
one thing that makes them go on? I'm nerdy, geeked out.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, ird, but yeah nerd to me, Yeah, there is.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
Well did you see his tweet of all of his
flash cards? He tweeted out a photo of like how
his flash cards in the storage and the system and
he checks him in and out.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
See now to mess we've already had two conversations, three
conversations this week about it, Aaron Levine being a three
time Jeopardy champion. Now, uh so, congratulations to him, but
to me, all this talk about how smart he is
this week, whenever I saw that that tweet that he
sent out, he has basically set up a library for him,
(27:18):
for him for all of his index cards that he does,
flash cards that he does his studying off of, and
he forces himself like a librarian to check them in
and out. He has a Dewey decimal system in his
house for goodness sake, for checking in and out the
cards he needs to study.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Now that is brilliant.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Now that is.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Nerd card and nerdy. Yes, I mean that is the
dreamdness murdy Yeah, No, I mean I he's had some
of these had for you know, this entire six years
that he now just knows and so he very rarely
has to check those out. But then he's constantly making
new ones. But then he writes dates has to win
the last time he checked out and went through this
group with this box of cards, and so it's getting
(28:01):
harder and harder to keep up with how often he
has to go back. Thank god he made it, because
if he hadn't made it for another six years, he
would be living in just a box with a tent,
just a bunch of cards, you know, with a tarp
over the time to make a house out of these cards, yeah, exactly, the.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Only place I can live.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
And he said he brought three boxes. He had another picture.
It was the three boxes he brought with him to Detroit.
And he's like, the rain delay really helped give me
a lot of time.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I went over and talked to him during the rain
delay at one point, and he was doing it and
I said, all right, give me a couple of these.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Give me a couple of the questions. I got close
on one. One was a book?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Was close?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
One was a book. It was a book. Yeah, well,
I think that man in the sea, that's a book, right,
I got close. Who wrote it? You're close to what
it was? It was an old man and was he?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
I said, my guest was like Witches of the east
Wick or something, And he was like, that's close. It
was some book about witches, But okay, that was in
the clue. He's like, and he said it was a
good poll, like most people wouldn't have And I don't
know where it came from. I don't have no idea.
I couldn't.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I didn't read them percent So it's he is photosynthesis.
It's like it's sunlight of intelligence. And then you just
grab Yeah, all of your branches leaned toward it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, yep, I definitely get that. I do think I
definitely get that. I do think that. It's funny.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
When he told me that he had went on and
and he said it was the same thing. I couldn't ask,
so how'd you do? Because I knew he couldn't tell me,
but he just kind of gave There's one embarrassing moment
that I'm never going to live down. And I'm like
thinking myself, like, whatever, it's not going to be that embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
No, it was embarrassing. It was last night.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, smarty pants, what's a double triple and a home run?
Considered buddy?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Yeah, yeah, it was only I paid more attention instead
of doing flash cards.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Yeah, maybe I would have known it xbh ish and
he knows it obviously, but he's just got stumped.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I don't think he does. Still, he got stumped.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
And as a sportscast or a professional sportscaster to miss
the what is in baseball?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
What does XBH?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
That was?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
I watch it and I try to answer them. I
answer one or two correctly the entire show. That one
was the easiest one, and he didn't get it. So
I'm glad that we get to kind of, yeah, make
fun of him.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
He didn't know.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
He didn't even get smart pain, didn't even try. I
didn't even press the button. He just let it go.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't just it'll. It'll pop in
my head here in a second.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It is so funny though, because anybody that's ever played trivia,
and there's always somebody in the family that doesn't want
to play because they're not good at it, which is fine, Uh,
just be a part of it, and then they will
there will inevitably during the course of the game they
don't answer one question right, and then something goes right
(30:59):
into their strikes that another team gets. They're like that,
what did we get the easy one?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Well, yes, you're a mechanic.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
And there was a question asked about an engine and
you knew it. Yeah, it's not that easy for everybody else,
but for you specifically, that was easy.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I get it. Yeah. Really bad luck there, Bud.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
We'll come back with carburetors next.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
All right, Coming up next here on the radio program,
